Using compilers other than MinGW

@J-Hilk

I did this:

C:\Users\ME\Desktop\build>C:\Qt\5.14.0\mingw73_64\bin\qtenv2.bat
Setting up environment for Qt usage...

C:\Users\ME\Desktop\build>C:\Qt\5.14.0\mingw73_64\bin\qmake.exe D:\Projects\Qt\Hello\Hello C:\Qt\Tools\mingw730_64\bin\mingw32-make.exe
Info: creating stash file C:\Users\ME\Desktop\build\.qmake.stash

C:\Users\ME\Desktop\build>

There wasn't a qtenv.bat file there so I used qtenv2.bat instead.
Two files, as following, were created but still no output window of the app.

@tomy What about calling make as shown in my previous post?

I think the problem is here, you made the call to qmake and make one, separate those.

[tomy]

The stuff were mixed up and I restarted the machine. Now!

C:\Users\ME\Desktop\build>C:\Qt\5.14.0\mingw73_64\bin\qtenv2.bat

Hit enter

C:\Users\ME\Desktop\build>C:\Qt\5.14.0\mingw73_64\bin\qmake.exe D:\Projects\Qt\Hello\Hello

Hit enter

Maybe you forgot to setup the environment?

C:\Users\ME\Desktop\build>

@tomy Delete everything inside build directory and try again

@jsulm

Nothing changed, unfortunately!

I even deleted the folder and made a new one. But no difference in result.

Also ran CMD as administrator and tried again. Still no success. :(

[tomy]

I used the 32 bit version of the file and it worked! :)

So I walked through this way:

C:\Users\ME\Desktop\Build>C:\Qt\5.14.0\mingw73_32\bin\qtenv2.bat Setting up environment for Qt usage...

Then C:\Users\ME\Desktop\Build>C:\Qt\5.14.0\mingw73_32\bin\qmake.exe D:\Projects\Qt\Hello\Hello

And finally:
C:\Users\ME\Desktop\Build>C:\Qt\Tools\mingw730_32\bin\mingw32-make.exe

And the following files were added to the Build folder:

En passant, the final and complete message on CMD is:

Is it now done! :)

[tomy]

Still I'm puzzled what to call what we did! :) Is it using GCC on command line to create the executable file for the project, or something else? :)

It's actually not running the app using gcc from command line because no output window is shown.

The compiler just builds. There isn't really any such thing as "running the app using gcc." You use the gcc toolchain (or some other toolchain) to make the app. Then you run it if you want.

Once it's built, it doesn't matter which toolchain it came from or how exactly it was built. You just run it.

@tomy said in Using compilers other than MinGW:

Because it can't find the needed libs (Qt libs especially). When running from QtCreator the environment is prepared so the OS can find needed libs.
If you want to do it from command line manually then first deploy your app: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-deployment.html

[tomy]

Thank you both. No I don't wish to run it; I merely wanted to know what I did (with your help), which is "building" the app. :)

Now that we could build the program using the GCC compiler on Windows (MingW), how to build it this time using the other compiler, Clang, please?

[jsulm]

@tomy said in Using compilers other than MinGW:

Do you have Qt built with this compiler?
If so, then it works same way, just use qmake.exe from Clang Qt.

[tomy]

@jsulm

Do you have Qt built with this compiler?

I don't know what it is. Sorry. I sent two screenshots in the first post. Aren't they there, please?

[jsulm]

@tomy "I don't know what it is" - well, it is Qt built using Clang compiler.
You have a Kit for Android + Clang, you can use it to build for Android.
If you want to see how to do so build first in QtCreator and check the "Compile Output" tab to see how QtCreator builds the project.

[tomy]

@jsulm

I tested a number of QtQuick apps to build for Android, but for all I get the error below!

C:\Qt\5.14.0\android\include\QtCore\qglobal.h:45: error: 'type_traits' file not found
#  include <type_traits>
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

[tomy]

The problem was with NDK. A higher version of NDK solved the issue. (For those who might come across the issue afterwards too)

@jsulm

I built and created the .apk file of a project called QML_test_1 using Qt Creator. The Output Window shows hundreds of lines! How to pinpoint the expressions to build the project the same way as the prior stage, this time with Clang, please?

@tomy said in Using compilers other than MinGW:

this time with Clang, please?

Please take a closer look at the output you get:

D:\Qt_Stuff\android-ndk-r21/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/clang++ -c -target armv7a-linux-an

Do you see clang++ ?
The android Kit already uses Clang to compile.

The problem is that I'm not experienced in it.
Anyways, yes, I see the above section which is part of a very long line.

Should I use this method?

• Going to the "Build" folder using CMD
• Typing D:\Qt_Stuff\android-ndk-r21/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/clang++ -c -target armv7a-linux-androideabi21 followed by the path to the project's directory

Why do you want to do this? This line calls the compiler to compile a source code file. There is usually no need to do it manually, especially in bigger projects. This is how a QMake based project is usually build:

qmake
make
make install

As you can see there is no manual compiler call . Make calls compiler for you.
Can you please explain what you're trying to achieve?

I think I said that in our prior posts. I'm aiming at building projects using GCC and Clang compilers from command line instead of the hammer button on the IDE (ctrl+B). For the GCC compiler, we made it above and built the project.
For Clang, you said it's similar. So I thought of that set of instructions.

For an empty folder called "BuildApk" on desktop to be used for building: C:\Users\ME\Desktop\BuildApk
and the project's directory on the path: D:\Projects\QML\QML_test_1\QML_test_1
what expressions do I need to use to build the project QML_test_1 using Clang?
